Ink, Watercolor and acrylic on paper ,

2015/2016

Our species, much like cancer cells, multiplies rapidly and consumes resources without regard for the well-being of our host—Earth itself. The effects of our relentless growth and insatiable consumption are becoming increasingly evident, and now we even entertain the idea of colonizing other planets.

However, this destructive behavior is not an inherent flaw of humanity. Rather, it results from the absence of natural limitations that might have once regulated our growth and reproductive impulses. As an artist, I feel compelled to explore and portray these uncomfortable truths about our species, in hopes of sparking awareness of the harm we're causing. T4 is a powerful visual representation of this urgent message."
